Abstract

The primary environmental elements that countries encounter shape and change defense planning. Each planning phase is honored with the primary element needed to implement the change. Because of this, the period of polarization and nuclear threat is named the Threat-Based Planning Approach. Similar to this, emphasis was placed on the Capability-Based Planning Approach and the Scenario-Based Planning Approach in order to foresee the growing uncertainties following 9/11 due to the increasing relevance of talent after the Cold War. With the idea of “Industry 4.0,” the world has undergone a rapid transformation, and the idea of “digital transformation” has gained fundamental interest from people, businesses, and nations alike. With this idea, planning and development started to take shape. As a result, this circumstance also has an impact on defense planning strategies. The article’s major point is, rather than bringing about minor adjustments, to highlight how digital transformation, which has a transformative effect, starts a fundamental transition in military planning methodologies and introduces a new perspective on planning.

Savunma Planlama Yaklaşımlarında Yeni Bir Dönem: Dijital Dönüşüm Çağı

Year 2024, Volume: 34 Issue: 1, 169 - 177, 28.06.2024

Abstract

Savunma planlamalarında meydana gelen değişimler ülkelerin deneyimlediği ana çevresel faktörler etrafında şekillenmekte ve değişmektedir. Her planlama dönemi, değişimin gerektirdiği ana faktörle beraber anılmaktadır. Bu nedenledir ki nükleer bir tehdidin var olduğu, kutuplaşmaların olduğu dönem Tehdide Dayalı Planlama Yaklaşımı olarak adlandırılmıştır. Benzer şekilde Soğuk Savaş sonrası yeteneğin önem kazanmasıyla beraber Yetenek Temelli Planlama Yaklaşımı ve 11 Eylül Sonrası artan belirsizlikleri öngörebilmek için ise Konsepte Dayalı Planlama Yaklaşımına önem verilmiştir. Endüstri 4.0 kavramıyla beraber dünya hızlı bir değişim içine girmiş ve dijital dönüşüm kavramı hem bireyler hem şirketler hem de ülkeler için temel bir ilgi alanı haline gelmiştir. Planlamalar ve geliştirmeler bu kavram üzerinden şekillenmeye başlamıştır. Dolayısıyla savunma planlama yaklaşımları da bu durumdan etkilenmektedir. Dönüştürücü bir etkisi olan dijital dönüşümün küçük değişikliklerden ziyade savunma planlama yaklaşımlarında köklü bir dönüşüm başlatarak yeni bir planlama anlayışını beraberinde getirdiğine dikkat çekmek makalenin ana fikrini oluşturmaktadır. Makalenin ulaştığı sonuca göre dijital dönüşümün getirdiği derin öğrenme, insansız araçlar, makine öğrenimi kavramları savunma konusunda en çok kullanılan kelime grupları arasına girmiştir. Ayrıca başta uluslararası ilişkilerle ilgili kavramlar olmak üzere siyasi zorluklar geliştirilen kelime gruplamaları arasındadır.
